Critique
I'm was in early middle position with ATh, I raise to $2.00 in a .25/.50 cent NLHE game. I get 4 callers and the pot is $9.75 total. The board is 3c Jd 5s. Two people check to me. I bet $10. Everyone folds. Before folding someone makes a comment and another person made a comment after about how "interesting" it was that I bet $10 in a pot of $9.75. I picked up the $10 pot on a bluff and am wondering if there was a better way to play this.
I'm feeling a bit self-conscious about the remarks and am wondering how others would have played it. |
Re: Critique
a pot-sized continuation bet is pretty standard after raising pre-flop.
how many players? i don't raise ATs from anywhere on a full table. |
Re: Critique
Full table, 10 players. 4 took the flop.

Re: Critique
Yeah, you really shouldn't be playing ATs in MP for a raise, if you are going to be getting 4 people to the flop. The problem is that you end up having to make a huge continuation bet, and then when someone check/raises you (say with a set, or maybe just raises from behind with JJ), you end up losing a huge percentage of your stack.

Re: Critique
xorbie, would you have limped at least? Or would you not have played it at all?

Re: Critique
Limp preflop. ATs is not strong enough to be playing out of position if anyone calls your preflop raise. Even if you're at a really loose table, punish loose limpers by raising weaker hands in position, not out of it.

[/ QUOTE ] The hand or your emotional breakdown when questioned? For the former, that depends a whole hell of a lot on the table texture, but your line won you $10 with A high, so it was fine. For the latter, I like to build an arrow out of chips pointing at the jackass who questions me, and let him know he is my next target. Then avoid all pots with him. |
Re: Critique
I would definitely limp with this in MP, even in EP at most tables. The key is that someone with JJ/QQ is going to be raising if they have it behind you, so you can just dump your hand (don't ever call raises with ATs or AJs unless you have a good read).
